Thread: seasons greetings

To All My ALP Friends:

Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best
wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress,
non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday,
practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion
of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the
religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice
not to practice religious or secular traditions at all. I also wish you a
fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated
recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2009, but
not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose
contributions to society have helped make Australia great. Not to imply that
Australia is necessarily greater than any other country nor the only Australia
in the Western Hemisphere . Also, this wish is made without regard to the
race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual
preference of the wishee.



To My Liberal/NationalParty Friends:

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Pete
